Sorry for the enormous post too much catching up to do! Thanks for all your nice messages for me
Bobswendy ? poor you I hope you are feeling much better
Stawberrysam ? your theory on the bleeds could have some truth in it as you are putting pressure on your cervix when you strain, have you asked them to check your placenta? It may be that it is close to the cervix and that?s why you are getting the bleeds. Scary for you, sorry this keeps happening.
Daisy ? hope you?ve been managing to get some sleep hon how are you getting on with eBay? DS thinks he is Iggle Piggle he even answers to it I know where you are coming from when you explained to Looouise about life before kids vs after, thank god I didn?t know how much I?d love being with my child when I was trying to build my career!! so glad the scan went well and those odds are fab.As you can imagine Dr B was very through with ours he is great isn?t he? He thinks he does remember you
Tee ? LOL like your idea for a petition there?s nothing like pg dreams are there? Sorry to hear you are feeling so low I?ve lost 6 pounds too but I needed to I guess and no one is worried sorry to hear about the hypo I think the 4th dimension is just real time as opposed to static. I?ve read that 3d and 4d are not that much more helpful from a medical perspective but my Dr seems to like to use it to see blood flow etc etc, fascinating really.
Littlesarah ? hope you have more luck with the Doppler soon last pg the placenta was to the back so it was easy to scan and hear etc but this time the placenta is at the front so apparently it?ll make it all a bit foggy, including feeling kicks I so love feeling them too! We were hoping for a honeymoon baby but we?ll still have 2 by our second anniversary! Hopefully! that?s so lovely how things worked out with your DD and her Dad
Flynn ? so glad it went so well at the scan hon Sorry about the insomnia I had a really bad night on weds night, I had a bad migraine and I was awake all night alternating cold and hot flannels thankfully it went away enough for me to get some sleep at 6am but DS woke at 7am I?m still suffering from MS too it?s worst at night actually, when I?m exhausted I guess. Enjoy the 4D, I didn?t have one last time but this dr has a machine that does all sorts of things and it is amazing to see. I already have a pic so I?ll post it on my profile
Loooouise ? lovely all babies are exciting but 1st ones are so special! I?m sure you and your baby?s father will come to a good arrangement with your child, especially if you are old friends there were at least 3 girls on my AN thread for DS who were on their own and there were some points that we envied them as they could just do what they liked and not have to worry about feeding a DH too what a dream you had! *18/11 13.35
Ermintrude ? LOL at your son?s comment about your tummy, sometimes kids are a little too frank aren?t they? so true what you said to Tee about how you feel about your DCs, my DH gets so angry because I won?t let him roll away from me in bed at night, I think I think he is DS and am worried he?ll fall out That book sounds hilarious Also, my Mum got listeria from Brie when pg with my sis, it was awful, I was 10 and remember it well ? no brie for me!
Welcome and congrats June try not too worry about your weight, I?ve always put on weight easily and it scared me too but with DS I put on less than 2 stone and I lost it all pretty quickly after the birth too. I have to say being pg was the 1st time I actually liked my tummy this time I have lost about 7lbs but then again I?m still a bit heavy (even though none of it is from DS ) sorry to here about your skin, mine is getting me down too I remember feeling a bit alone last pg because after all the initial excitement no one medical sees you for ages and then later in the pg you feel like you are going all the time! I bought ?What to expect when you are expecting? and it was fab as is ?What to expect in the first year? I looked at hundreds of names last time and Dh only liked 3 out of the whole lot!
Leaky all the best for Tues?s scan!
Choccie ? I?m craving citrus things, what I really want is those sorbets inside the lemons or oranges but can?t find any, with DS it was apples, I couldn?t get enough appley things.
Help ? hope the scan went well. I?ve got spots too The MS creeps up on me so suddenly that I am carrying nappy sacks around in my pockets (very handy as no holes!) with my DS I had perfect skin, wonderful nails and great hair (also was not sick at all), this time it has all gone to pot and I am having a girl that said, they say that no 2 pgs are the same don?t they? Incidentally both times I?ve had string gut feelings around 10 weeks about the sex and both times I appear to have been right.
Thanks for the good wishes Bigcar, hope your scan went well today
Cote ? all the best for the scan on Monday and I hope the baby isn?t too shy and you can tell the sex the system here is similar (well privately anyway) in that it?s a Dr I see throughout with a similar pattern to you. I think one of the best things is the scan at your due date, I didn?t have that in the UK and I think it is a positive thing. Birth is a scary thing here too though, nearly everyone has an epidural and an episiotomy and section rates are very high. They are not really up for you moving about, that said, things are changing a lot and my local hospital has just got some birthing pools I had a fabulous natural birth without any pain relief other than a tens machine and no interventions with DS and I am hoping (and praying) for something similar. He was born in Scotland and I have to say, the MWs were fabulous.
Ineedmore ? glad you got a scan date I?m thrilled to know the sex this time, I didn?t last time and it just feels right knowing this time, next time I might not, who knows can?t believe people were nasty, what damn right do they have?
Teeny ? so glad all is well
Myneaux ? so glad your scan went well and glad you had a good nuchal too, I find the whole idea of that scan scary too, like you, the scan was good enough for me and I didn?t do the associated blood tests. I have read about that rib flare thing before but can?t remember the details, pop a post in ?Pregnancy? and I?m sure someone will help
Leaky ? I was amazed that the Dr could tell me the sex yesterday (I?m 12+5) but when he showed us what we were looking for it was very clear, I guess it?s all about the technology they have. He is 99% certain. He showed us very clearly what would become the labia.
Llynnn ? sorry to hear about your cold, hope you feel better soon.
Mica ? sorry to hear you?ve had a hard time but glad all is well with your baby
Innat ? poor you feeling so low, glad all went well today and hope that it?s cheered you up no end
Salet ? you poor thing, just what you don?t want at the mo I hope something comes along very soon for you.
